[STR New]

On any OS except Darwin configure script ignores --disable-libusb flag and
does libusb autodetection.

At least on Linux this cause problems with printing on usb multifunctional
devices.
If cups uses libusb then it tries access printer through /dev/bus/usb/...
device. But offen this device is ocuppied by scanner software and device is
assigned to scanner group but not lp group which is default for cups, so
cups in this configuration do not have access to printer.

In this situation cups should be compiled with --disable-libusb flag, and
cups should acces printer only through /dev/usblp devices

IMHO this problem affects not only 1.7.1 version of cups but all recent
versions

I attached patch which fixes problem for me, but I am not 100% sure it is
correct.
